Name: Metal Gear Solid (MGS)

Genre: Action/Adventure

Summary: There are a lot of Nokia N96 Games and many of them are way too good. I have reviewed a game before called FB Twisted, so, If you don’t like action games, check that other game which is more arcade game for Nokia N96 and not adventure. I have always respected the MGS series but since I never owned a PlayStation I never got to own it and I was delighted when I found out that they where releasing a n-gage version. After hearing about Metal Gear Solid (MGS) I went straight to google and I found out that it had 1/3 of the original game developers which is a lot for a n-gage game and that it was going to be ground breaking. So I was looking forward to playing it allot but when I got it I was so disappointed, I guess I was expecting it too much. If you have ever played any of the MGS series then you will also be disappointed because of the lack of interaction and it seems like a level is just getting passed two or more guards. However and this is a big however anyone who hasn’t played any of the MGS series will find it a great little game, it is quick enough to load and despite all the missing interactions what they left in was pure gold. Things like hide in boxes and in lockers and peeking out is good fun and can be quite challenging.

Overall: Personally I think Metal Gear Solid (MGS) is a bit of a flop and I know a few people who think the same but I can’t deny that it is a good n-gage game. It may sound like I’m contradicting myself and in a way your right but you could least try this version and then try any other MGS game and you will know exactly what I mean. Look all MGS fans should also try this game its nice and small and entertain more than most other n-gage game.
